At this time, in the noisy discussions in the dilapidated temple, the already old man Gu Yu spoke again:
It’s hateful that I’ve wasted my whole life and haven’t been able to gather a decent sacrifice. But please rest assured the immortals and Buddhas in the sky, I haven’t lived these sixty-odd years in vain!
As he spoke, Gu Yu opened his front, revealing the dense wounds on his body, and then continued:
Although this old man doesn’t have rare treasures, precious birds and strange beasts as offerings, he has the experience gained from several dangerous adventures into Wando Lake and escaping death in the past sixty years.
And also facing that demon dragon’s courage and soul several times!
When saying these words, Gu Yu, who looked like he was in his twilight years, suddenly had shining eyes as if he had become a different person.
When he said this, seeing that the great formation didn’t have any reaction, Gu Yu became a little anxious and said:
All you immortals and buddhas in the upper realm, although I’m old, I can still handle a knife and ride a horse without any problem!
As he spoke, Gu Yu suddenly found the big knife standing aside and danced it vigorously in the summoning god formation.
But after only dancing a dozen or so knives, his breath became a little uneven.
After dancing a few more knives, he even became unsteady on his feet, weak and powerless, as if drunk.
Finally, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a ‘plop’.
The group of cultivators who caught a glimpse of this scene immediately burst into laughter.
Even Dongfang Yuejian couldn’t help but say with some incomprehension:
This old man is at such an old age, why does he insist on joining in this excitement.
However, Xu Taiping didn’t say a word from beginning to end, only quietly staring at the old man in the painting.
Because among all the people present, only he knew why this old man had come to join in the excitement.
At this time, Gu Yu clearly also knew that his performance was less than satisfactory, and immediately scratched his head a little embarrassed and said:
“Fellow immortals and buddhas from the upper realm, I only ate a bowl of porridge today, and I don’t have much strength.”
When he said this, it seemed that he thought of something, and immediately his eyes lit up and said:
“Fellow immortals and buddhas from the upper realm, apart from these fist and foot skills, this old man also has a set of horizontal training skills, especially this head is extremely hard!”
As he spoke, the old man slapped his head hard, and then bent down to pick up a rock beside him.
Without any hesitation, the old man smashed that rock heavily onto his own head.
“Bang!”
As a result, blood flowed continuously.
This comical scene once again caused the group of cultivators in the dilapidated temple to burst into laughter.
However, Gu Yu seemed not to know the pain at all, and once again smashed that stone heavily on his own head.
“Bang!”
In the dull collision sound, Gu Yu’s forehead was torn open.
However, Gu Yu didn’t care about the wound on his head, but smiled and raised his head and said: “Fellow immortals and buddhas in the sky, those two times just now were my mistakes. Please give me another chance.”
“This time, this time I will definitely be able to smash this stone open with my head, definitely can!”
As he spoke, Gu Yu placed the stone on the ground, and then with a resolute look in his eyes, he suddenly smashed his head towards the stone on the ground.
“Bang!…
After a loud noise, Gu Yu’s head was against the stone, and his body fell straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yuejian couldn’t bear to look and said:
“Does this old man have some problems with his mind? Whoever chooses him later will probably have a lot to worry about.”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer, still just quietly staring at the painting in front of him.
And in the hall, after seeing this scene, some cultivators curiously asked Jiang Xuanfeng:
“Old Jiang, if the chosen dragon catcher dies like this, can we change to another one?”
Jiang Xuanfeng smiled and nodded and said:
“Of course.”
Hearing this, some cultivators ranked at the back suddenly all heaved a sigh of relief, glad that the old man with some problems in his mind had already committed suicide.
But what made them want to cry but had no tears was that just when they thought the old man had already killed himself that stone, the old man who had originally fallen straight to the ground suddenly stood up.
Then, the old man with a bloody face was seen raising the big stone that had been broken into two pieces with both hands and shouting excitedly:
“All the immortal Buddhas in the upper realm, look, I smashed it, I smashed it!”
However, as he shouted, his voice became lower and lower.
Finally, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, lowered his head, and his body trembled and sobbed continuously——
“I have been praying for so many years. Why, why is it today…”
“If it was ten years earlier, or even five years earlier, why did this great formation only light up when I’m left with only these old bones!”
“Brother…”
“Brother…”
“Brother… I miss you, I miss Sir…”
“Brother, I’m really useless… If you were still here, you would definitely have a way to make them choose us, right?”
“Why, why wasn’t it me who died when the formation was destroyed sixty years ago?”
“Obviously, the one who should have died the most was me! Brother!”
Seeing this scene, most people thought that this old man should be crazy. Only Xu Taiping, who had seen the scene of the two brothers summoning the gods together back then, could slightly understand the old man’s mood at the moment.
However, sympathy aside, if Gu Yu’s performance was only like this, Xu Taiping still wouldn’t choose him.
Even if there was a scene of him in the Great Deduction Power.
Even in Xu Taiping’s opinion, Gu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing continuously at the moment, had not made any progress compared to the cowardly and ignorant sixty years ago.
Just as Xu Taiping was about to move his gaze away from Gu Yu, the Summoning God Formation under Gu Yu suddenly shone brightly without any omens.
Immediately after, in Xu Taiping’s astonished gaze, Gu Yu suddenly raised his head sharply, and on his blood-stained face, his eyes carried a hint of scorching determination as he said:
“Brother, you’ve seen a joke.”
“But please rest assured, this is the last time.”
As he spoke, he saw Gu Yu take out a handful of dark blue wild grass from his bosom and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it without saying a word.
While chewing, he had a blank expression on his face and said intermittently:
“All you celestial immortals, this is aconite grass. Although it is highly poisonous, it can make the person who takes it immediately restore the qi and blood of this body to its peak state!”
As he spoke, he saw that Gu Yu’s loose robe was actually being up by Gu Yu’s bulging muscles at a visible speed.
Even the wrinkles on Gu Yu’s face were becoming smooth at a visible speed.
Then, he heard Gu Yu say again:
“Although I only have half a day to live, I still want to prove to all the gods and buddhas in the upper realm that I, Gu Yu, am not an incompetent person. It’s just that I wasn’t able to light up this god-calling array when this body and soul were at their peak.”
After saying this, he saw Gu Yu pull out the long knife inserted in the ground beside him, and then hold the knife with both hands and suddenly chop forward.
“Boom! ——”
Amid the hissing of the long saber, a saber qi that was only over ten zhang long but exuded a magnificent atmosphere suddenly split a deep gully on the ground of the small courtyard.
After slashing out this saber strike, Gu Yu held the saber horizontally in front of his chest with one hand, and then said with burning eyes:
“All the gods and Buddhas from the upper realms, if you can choose this junior, this junior will definitely be able to become the sharpest dragon-slaying saber in your hands!”
It has to be said that the saber strike that Gu Yu just made indeed shocked many cultivators present.
But as Gu Yu’s face aged again and the muscles and blood qi on his body atrophied bit by bit the crowd suddenly shook their heads one after another and moved their gazes away from him again.
However, even though his figure shrank and hunched again the look in Gu Yu’s eyes was still as hot and firm as his just saber strike.
After seeing this look, the lotus pupil in Xu Taiping’s left eye inexplicably heated up, and then he muttered in his heart:
“I finally understand why the lotus pupil made me choose him.”
Xu Taiping touched his left eye and continued to mutter in his heart:
“Everything can be faked, only this look, this look that is exactly the same as those of the Ta Hai Army soldiers and those predecessors in the Jin Ting Cave Heaven who are as fearless of death as the Yuan Lord, cannot be faked.”
At this time, Dongfang Yuejian on the side noticed that Xu Taiping was still staring at Gu Yu and suddenly asked with some worry:
Brother Taiping, don’t tell me… don’t tell me you want to choose that Gu Yu?
